Zenoss daemon status in bash prompt

Seeing as how I bring Zenoss processes up and down forty times a day, I can get confused about what's running, and zenoss status gives me a bunch of stuff I don't care about. So I wrote this bash function to output a simple string representing my running daemons.

zends () {
    RESULT=""
    OUTPUT="`ps aux | grep $ZENHOME`"
    SEARCHFOR="zeoctl:z
               (zopectl|Startup/run.py):Z
               zenhub:h
               zenjobs:j"
    for f in $SEARCHFOR; do
        if [ -n "`echo \"$OUTPUT\" | egrep \"${f%:*}\"`" ]; then
            RESULT=${RESULT}${f#*:}
        fi
    done
    echo $RESULT
}

This iterates over regex:letter pairs and checks the ps output to see if a process matches. If so, it appends the letter to the string.

Then I added it into my prompt in ~/.bashrc:

PS1="[...snip...]$(zends)[...snip...] $"

Now my prompt looks like this:

ian | zhj | 10.42.1.7 | core/Products (devdetail) $

And I can tell at a glance that ZEO, zenhub and zenjobs are running, but not Zope.
